Playing tennis was the least of his problems."The 60-year-old watched Sunday's victory at home."How did I celebrate? I opened a bottle of champagne and toasted his health in front of the TV."Then I sent him a voice message to tell him how happy and proud I was of him."I told him that this trophy is worth a lot. Because it's a victory of perseverance and resilience."Now he's fine, he has a wonderful family, he can look to the future without fear and pain at last."But he is such a warrior on court that I knew he would not give up."The Scotsman has climbed 116 places to 127 following his win in Belgium.Madrid hosts the inaugural Davis Cup finals between November 18-24 with Britain in a group with Australia and Kazakhstan.
